Building on Strengths Learning From Differences Baron Schwartz - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Building on Strengths Learning From Differences Baron Schwartz O'Reilly MySQL Conference & Expo 2011

This is not about MySQL. www.percona.com

Knowledge is power. The challenges and opportunities are enormous. www.percona.com

Database Paradigm Shifts ● NoSQL ● Cloud Computing ● Solid-State Storage www.percona.com

NoSQL Databases ● Key-value (memcached, ...) ● Document-oriented www.percona.com

Why NoSQL? ● The so-called “impedance mismatch” ● Performance problems with relational DBs www.percona.com

Solid-State Storage ● We've optimized for disks for decades ● The relational model loves fast random access www.percona.com

The Future of Solid State ● Bigger, faster, cheaper, stronger ● This isn't over yet www.percona.com

Cloud Computing ● There is value behind the hype ● We still have much to learn www.percona.com

Are We There Yet? ● Have open source DBs kept up? ● Has open source culture kept up? www.percona.com

Technical Status ● Not ready for SSD ● Not ready for cloud deployment ● Relationship to NoSQL not widely understood www.percona.com

Socio-Cultural Status ● We're working hard, but in many different directions ● We're reinventing a lot of prior art www.percona.com

Competition ● Competition is motivating ● Rivalry can absorb energy and goodwill www.percona.com

Perspective We all fall short of the mark. www.percona.com

How Do We Build Big Databases? In a painful and costly manner. www.percona.com

What About Midsize Databases? ● Scaling up is a viable option www.percona.com

Data Is Exploding ● Moore's Law isn't keeping up with data ● We're not keeping up with Moore's Law www.percona.com

Scaling In The Cloud ● Today: scale-out all over again ● Tomorrow: brace yourself www.percona.com

Do You Like Slow Servers/Network? www.percona.com

We Need Scale-Both ● Are you ready for petabytes? ● We need much more efficient databases. www.percona.com

We Have Tunnel Vision redlinemotive.com www.percona.com

Take a Fresh Look sydney.edu.au/warrencentre/ www.percona.com

Scale-Up And Scale-Out howstuffworks.com www.percona.com

Who Wants To Switch? ● Trying to win migrations is wasted energy ● A downgrade is a downgrade www.percona.com

Growth is in New Deployments ● Lock-in happens in open source, too ● Migrations don't grow the market ● We need to be good, not just acceptable www.percona.com

Can We Do This? webdesignhot.com www.percona.com

The Market Will Respond Rivalry has consequences. www.percona.com

The Future Database ● It will be relational ● It will support alternative access paths www.percona.com

Who's Ready To Build This? A long-term investment in code quality won't guarantee a good outcome, but it sure helps. www.percona.com

The Politically Correct Datacenter ● Don't expect it to be popular ● Banking on it will backfire www.percona.com

The MySQL Ripple Effect www.percona.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0OkjtlbqVs

MySQL is in Good Hands I am very happy with Oracle's stewardship. www.percona.com

Our Mission Is Clear ● Proprietary databases are very, very good. ● We must build great open source databases. www.percona.com

I Want A Database That Offers... ● Scale up, scale out, and scale back natively ● Self-healing ● Fully online operation ● Cluster-wide backups ● ACID properties, with ability to relax ACID ● Multiple access paths ● Support for OLTP and OLAP www.percona.com

We Need Leaders ● Leadership is earned, not claimed ● We need to create prosperous companies www.percona.com

Cultivating Success ● We need a forum for incubation ● The intersection of interests: ● Open-source ● Databases ● Entrepreneurship www.percona.com
